IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Carmelite Way, SALISBURY, SP1 2SQ

Thomas Brickett, a former mayor, built five almshouses at the junction of Exeter Street and Carmelite Way in 1534. They were rebuilt in 1780 and again in 1894. Another view of the almshouses is at Image A cathedral was established at the Iron Age hillfort of Old Sarum by the Normans. In 1220 the cathedral was removed to the nearby plain and New Sarum (Salisbury) grew up around it, receiving a city charter in 1227. Located at the confluence of five rivers (Avon, Nadder, Ebble, Wylye and Bourne) the city is prone to flooding. Traffic between the ports of Southampton and Bristol, passes around the city's ring-road via the A36 causing much congestion.
